I absolutely loved this novel. It actually isn't a novel, it's an extended short story (about 50 pages) attached to a collection of short stories 
(5-10 pages). Matheson is so similar to my favorite author, Ray Bradbury that I actually thought this book was written by Bradbury. It's also important for me to point out that the book is nothing like the movie. You know, the movie that starred Will Smith? While I did enjoy the movie, the book was more descriptive and had a more interesting plot. Always, always, always, read the book before you see the movie!!

The novel chronicles his day to day survival and how he stays sane while handling the idea that he might be the last human on earth. The other novels in this collection I would consider to be science fiction. It's a great collection of stories and perfect around Halloween!
